PHP would need to be compiled with enable trans sid first 2. You can override SOME php.ini values with a .htaccess file (placed in a directory), but this is NOT a copy of the php.ini, it's a method of overriding values. You'd also need your ISP to grant you permission to run such files. They work from a certain directory down, so if you placed the file in your doc root, it would apply recursivly down to each folder bewlow it. example: <IfModule mod_php4.c> php_flag register_globals off php_flag magic_quotes_runtime on php_flag magic_quotes_gpc on </IfModule> 3. You can also override some php.ini values by using things like PHP's ini_set() function in your scripts. Justin
